HIRING: TEACHERS

Be a part of Sydney’s most exciting maker community!

We are always looking for friendly, passionate, approachable and skilled teachers! If you have a deep knowledge and ongoing professional practice that has equipped you with skills you’d like to pass on, there may be an opportunity for you to teach in our class program.

While it’s not essential that you meet the following list of criteria, these are some things that we look for in a teacher:

A practice focused more on design/fabrication rather than art.

Significant social media following.

Possibly some experience teaching or a strong desire to learn to teach.

We believe that Australian craft and design should reflect a distinct Australian material culture. In support of this our education program supports and champions a diverse group of Australian creatives doing intelligent work, work that reflects locality, both materially and culturally.

We are looking for teachers that reflect these values and goals.

If this sounds like you, shoot us an email with a brief outline of the stuff you’d love to teach and some examples of your work to learn@makerspace.org.au

Interns must be undertaking the internship as part of their studies, and be available for a minimum of 3 days a week for 12 weeks. If you’re not undertaking a formal internship but want to get involved, contact us about volunteering!

MakerSpace is young and fuelled by volunteer support, for which we are hugely grateful. At the moment we are unable to offer paid internship positions.

Whilst Interns need to be able to jump into a range of diverse tasks to support the team and the community, we want to tap into your specific skills and interests.

What kind of applicants are we looking for?

Good people doing good work, creative, driven, ambitions, visionary, strategic, ready. Ideal applicants will want to get involved in one or more of the following:
